Hi all,

I have an org file with this structure:

* head                                                                                                             
** topic 1                                                           :topic:                                       
*** foo                                                                                                            
**** some foo                                                           :foo:                                      
*** bar                                                                                                            
**** some bar                                                           :bar:                                      
** topic 2                                                                                                         
*** foo                                                                                                            
**** some other foo                                                     :foo:                                      
*** bar                                                                                                            
**** some other bar                                                     :bar:

and I would like to collect all entries with the tag foo and export them to a latex file.  I have the variable org-show-hierarchy-above set to nil, so f I run C-c \ "foo", I get this:

* head...                                                                                                          
**** some foo                                                           :foo:...                                   
**** some other foo                                                     :foo:...  

which is exactly what I would like to export.  But when I go to export using C-c C-e v l, the resulting latex file doesn't contain any of the entries below the top ("head") level:

The html export does work as expected, however, and produces a nice bulleted list of entries tagged "foo".  Also, the latex export works fine if I use it to export the entire file instead of just the visible portion.

As an alternative, I tried creating a project by setting the org-publish-project-alist variable like this:

(setq org-publish-project-alist                                                                                    
        '(("foo"                                                                                                   
                :base-directory "~/toys/org"                                                                       
                :base-extension "org"                                                                              
                :publishing-directory "~/toys/org"                                                                 
                :publishing-function org-publish-org-to-pdf                                                        
                :section-numbers nil                                                                               
                :select-tags ("foo")                                                                               
                :include ("org.org")))) 

and exported using C-c C-e X "foo", which works ok, but the value of the variable org-show-hierarchy-above is not respected, so I end up with a latex file that has the entire hierarchy above the foo-tagged entries, which is not what I want.

If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.

Also, I'm using GNU Emacs 24.50.1 from the git repository built a few weeks ago, and the latest org-mode from git built yesterday.

Thanks in advance,
JM
